Mung Bean Noodles with Pork (Ma Yi Shang Shu)

螞蟻上樹

Ma Yi Shang Shu is a dead-simple Sichuan dish that's also known by the name "ants climbing up a tree". If you've got ground pork and mung bean threads on hand, you've essentially got all of the ingredients for this dish.

A word about ingredients: mung bean threads are usually available in the dried aisle of your Asian grocer, and often come in small bundles (see photo). Sichuan cuisine often makes use of a spicy bean paste -- look for "broad bean" in the ingredients (as opposed to soybeans), and a dark, rich color.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 small packets of mung bean noodles (approximately 3-4 oz)

1/2 lb ground pork

1 tbsp grated ginger & juice

salt to taste

vegetable oil for frying

1/2 tbsp Sichuan chili bean paste -- doubanjiang (辣豆瓣酱)

pinch of sugar

2 stalks scallions, chopped

1 to 1 1/2 cup chicken stock

2 tbsp soy sauce

Recipe Steps:

Add ginger and a pinch of salt to the ground pork. Let sit for a few minutes.

Soak the mung bean noodles in a bowl of water for a few minutes. The noodles will take on water so don't leave them sitting around for too long. Make several cuts using scissors, so that the noodles will be in easy-to-eat lengths (and mix better with the rest of the ingredients). Drain the noodles.

Heat a wok, add vegetable oil, and cook the pork for a few minutes, using a spatula to break the pork apart into small bits (these are your "ants"!)

Add chili bean paste, scallions and sugar, stirring thoroughly.

Now add the noodles, chicken stock and soy sauce. Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce and simmer until the liquid mostly evaporates. Taste, and add more sugar/salt if you'd like. Garnish with additional green onion or cilantro.
